CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) - A military jury on Thursday acquitted a Marine sergeant on charges of murdering an unarmed detainee during battle in Fallujah, Iraq. The jury also acquitted Sgt. Ryan Weemer of dereliction of duty in the November 2004 death.

The panel of eight Marines who served in Iraq or Afghanistan got the case Wednesday and deliberated more than four hours.

Seeing as how the DOJ blew their case against Ted Stevens, There is a good chance that those Blackwater guys will go free.
